Calls for Transitional Government Body

The Chinese government has presented a new plan to end the ongoing Syrian Civil War, presenting the plan yesterday to UN Special Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who is clearly open to suggestion after last week’s Eid al-Adha ceasefire collapsed.

The Chinese plan calls for the establishment of a “transitional” government and for both sides to agree to a ceasefire in several phases, taking a region-by-region approach to ending the escalating violence.

Chinese officials say the proposal is a continuation of their stance that a political transition, and not a violent internationally-backed civil war, is the preferred vehicle for regime change in the nation.

China has stood with Russia on most UN resolutions on Syria, opposition NATO calls for resolutions that could potentially lead to foreign invasion. Western officials have yet to comment on the prospect of the new Chinese plan, though it will likely have some sort from the Syrian government simply because they need continued Chinese support diplomatically.

Ditz… The Assad Regime already agreed to this 8 months ago when "Kofi Annan peace plan for Syria" was negotiated and agreed to. The "Chinese 'plan'" is not materially different than Kofi Annan's "plan"–which the Assad regime already negotiated and agreed to in February of this year and even continues to specifically reference it as a framework for a "political solution". Anyone who actually read the 'points' of each "plan", I would assume, would know this… The only real difference between the "plans" that the "Chinese '4-point plan'" is 2 "points" less than the the "Kofi Anna '6-point plan'"

But hey…lets just see what the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, "The People's Daily", published about the this "proposal":

"The four-point proposal continues China's long-held principle that regime change is not a cure to Syria's problem. The proposal emphasized that a ceasefire and humanitarian aid are what the Syrian people need most at this time. China attaches great importance to the reality of the deteriorating situation in Syria. Previous criticisms that China has been turning a blind eye to the bloodshed in Syria are completely wrong.

A roadmap of political transition isn't contradictory to China's previous stance of respecting the choices of the Syrian people. It is the consensus of the international community that the Syrian conflict must be solved through politics and not a military intervention. What China's proposal advocates is the fact that Syria cannot afford a protracted civil war. The grim consequences of such decisions have already been clearly shown in Iraq and Libya. Turning a blind eye to Syrian's reality will only create more violence."
